How I wish
Things were different.
I wish to have
Met you somewhere else.
I wish to have
Met you at a better time.
I wish we were
In another scenario altogether.

How I wish
I was different.
I wish to have
Not said what I did.
I wish to have
Said everything I really meant.
I wish to have
Been not as much a mess.

How I wish
You were different.
I wish you could
Tell me when to stop.
I wish you could
Stop me when I left.
I wish you could
Just be there.

But as it is
Everything remains.
How just wishing
Won’t change anything.
My head understands
Yet my heart fantasizes.
How I wish
Everything was different.
